Software Maintenance
The SpectraLink 8020/8030 Wireless Telephones use proprietary
software programs written and maintained by Polycom Corporation.
The software versions that are running on the handsets can be
displayed during power on by holding down the
END button. Firmware
Version
is also an option on the Config menu.
Polycom Customer Service or an authorized dealer will provide
information about software updates and how to obtain the software
(for example, downloading updates from a website).
Upgrading Handsets
After software updates are obtained from Polycom, they must be
transferred to the network TFTP server. See SpectraLink 8000 Telephony
Gateway: Administration Guide for an explanation of how to update the
SpectraLink 8020/8030 Wireless Telephone software in the network
TFTP server so that it can then be downloaded into the handsets.
SpectraLink 8020/8030 Wireless Telephones allow over-the-air
transfer of software updates from the network TFTP server to the
handsets. The download function in the handset checks its software
version every time the handset is turned on. If there is any
discrepancy the handset immediately begins to download the update.
Normal Download Messages
When the handset is powered on, it displays a series of messages
indicating that it is searching for new software, checking the versions,
and downloading.
The normal message progression is:
Message Description
Checking Code

software that should be downloaded.
Erasing Memory
Handset has determined that a download should occur and is erasing the current
software from memory. This message also displays a progress bar. When the
progress bar fills the display line the erase operation is complete.
